المدخل إلى علوم الحديث الشريف

The masterpiece of Mf Muhammad Abdul Malik of Bangladesh, the book focuses on introducing takhrij and checking asanid to Dars Nizami grads.

It is the most beneficial book on the topic for our ulama/students and should definitely be part of the syllabus in every madrasah.

Filled with fawaid not found in other books on the topic including:
- Introductions to the various works and explanation on how they work. Books like Jami al-Usul, Tuhfat al-Atraf etc are introduced in detail.
- Good balanced discussions on the status of ahadith in books of the fuqaha and elders
- Valuable nuqul from our akabir on the importance of checking ahadith and not blinding relying on them being quoted by senior ulama
- Really helpful advice on studying this field
- A good section on the books to be used to get the know the ahadith of a particular field eg. Which books are good on checking ahadith of ahkam, which ones for adhkar, which ones for ahadith of tafsir etc


I have taught this book about half a dozen times and cannot over-emphasise its importance. It was part of our syllabus at the Dar al-Ifta, however it should be taught prior to that, ideally before dawrah.

The ideal manner of studying it, would be with practical application of every section, under a teacher well-versed in the field.
Even if one is unable to study it in this manner, one would still benefit hugely from studying it.

Previously only printed in Bangladesh, it is now been printed in Beirut in a beautiful edition, in over 300 pages.
